I analyzed the bus system figures for EZ-Rider based on the NTD 2004 database figures. I asked the NTD when the 2005 numbers would be posted and they said it would be DECEMBER 2006. Yes you read that right, a whole year later. Now, the NTD requires all transit agencies to submit their data MONTHLY via the web on their site, and they require the agencies to file a final report within 180 days of the end of their Fiscal Year.
OK, so if most fiscal years end on September 30, they have a March 30 Deadline, then a couple of months to put all the data together and you should have 2005 Data by July or so...but NO.
Ahh to work at the speed of Government. When they are ready, the public and the consultants must have all their stuff in to them yesterday...when it is them...well when they get around to it.
